“Western response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been too slow”
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov believes the Western response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has been too slow. The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov in the WSJ Opinion column.
In his words, any aggressor must face irreversible punishment through a mechanism of preventive measures, the so-called deferred sanctions that can be approved in peacetime and take effect automatically.
According to Reznikov, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has created almost four million refugees. “We are on the brink of a global food crisis that could destabilize Africa and the Middle East. Until Russia is stopped, the crisis will only grow, pulling in neighbors and contributing to the collapse of economies,” Reznikov stressed.
